Do you collect other toys besides Transformers? Maybe you've got a Masters of the Universe collection you'd like to show off, or maybe you like Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Wrestling, or any of the various comic book toy lines. Please keep the discussions here to non-Transformers toy lines.

I do have some advice for you on painting. I noticed white is going to be your dominant color based on those pics.

Handpainting white always lead to nast streaks. Especially over a black basecoat.

My suggestion here is to go with a white basecoat and then pick out everything else in chaos black. From there you can add other details. The look will come out much smoother and more consistent.

Also, don't buy the GW spray cans. They are expensive and unneccessary. Go to Wal Mart and pick up a couple cans of Krylon Fusion Black and White spray cans. The paint is strong and bonds to the plastic much better. You also get a better painting surface.

I don't know much about the Traitor Guardsmen, but the GW figures are made so you can paint them pretty much however you want. If they play by a certain allegiance's rules then they just have to stick with the weapons used by that army.

Do you have the Space Marine Codex? You need to get it because that book will tell you everything you need to know in order to get your army to play by the rules.

They're in the Eye of terror codex, or, at least 'traitors' are. From what I read you can't put marks on them or give them chaos space marine weapons. Thing is these are from 03, so are no doubt old news.

thank you for the advice, and yes, the Sons are Malice got that. I'll drop by walmart and get the paint you suggested.

I can get it, both at my hobby shop (wonderfully well stocked) or DL a copy. one quick question, what is the newest codex edition?

I also have the 07 chaos space marine codex in PDF, as well as 5th ed rules. i hate PDFs, I'll get teh real books later

Chaos space marines. In the Eye of Terror codex you have to look in the Lost and The Damned section. I didn't know the particulars of them. I just know you can't put marks on them or give them power weapons.

in eithercase, they're just a maybe. they'd just be sort of vanilla cannon fodder.

I'm not sure if the Eye of Terror codex is relevant anymore.

In 5th Edition (the newest), the forces of Chaos are divided into Chaos Daemons (warp monsters and other nasties) and Codex Space Marines (The original traitor legions).

Traitor Guard can be played with converted standard Imperial Guard models, using the Imperial Guard codex.

Noise marines will likely be my first major additions, since no one in my area fields them (I'm sure I can mod some blastmasters after a few tries). But, I'm also VERY glad I can field traitor guardsmen. I think they'd be good distractions or just considered low priority targets to the enemy player. (and very cheap)

Also Jesterhead: hot damn. awesome work man.

And no love for the paint jobs I posted of stuff I did...

Anyways, Gun modifying is not that hard. For the case you have as I explained earlier, all you have to do is cut that small area where the finger would go for the trigger. Cut that piece out and the gun will slide right in.

Look into just buying up parts lots if you get the chance. Bit of excess pieces that no one wants can be a GOLD MINE.

You know it!

My pre-heresy Iron Hands are %80 Forge World models. They are lovely sculpts, but the price is obscene!

It seems like Warhammer 40k (or 30k lately) novels have been sucking up a lot of my money lately. The next Horus Heresy limited edition novella Aurelian should drop sometime soon. Not sure where the money for that is coming from!

Oh dear, thinking about getting back into 40k makes me cringe. To think I could've had less trouble collecting AEC if I didn't go through this hobby. Was more in to Fantasy than 40k, but still had a considerable amount of Tau.

Same here.

Now I'm stuck filling gaps in my AEC collection.

lousy minicons.

I don't know if the heads are different for you on that Krylon paint Robo, but for me it SUUUUUCKS.

picked up some krylon fusion satin white paint, it came with this sucky 'EZ touch 360 dial' (no normal headed stuff) and it offers no range, and it comes out in globs rather than a spray. Whatever it didn't cover completely it PLASTERED ruining much of the detail.

EDIT: Turns out its not the paint... I managed to get the one can of paint without a nozzle. just my luck. =/

my Iconbearer is pretty plastered. the paint had formed huge lumps on the shoulder pads, and his chest is missing a lot of detail. The backpack's missing all of its minute details like the bolts and ventilation... vents. Really, the only thing I can thankfully salvage without any effort is the Icon of Chaos Glory and the arm that holds it. the legs are okay, as are the bolter I gave it.

We can save them!

Go to the automotive section in Wal Mart or go to a auto store and buy some Purple Power. It's a cleaner/degreaser.

Let them soak for a day and your parts will be as good as new.

For every problem, there is a solution.
